Shadow Creepers are naturally spawning, hostile mobs.

ABOUT THE MOB

tips & tricks

• Shadow Creepers are extremely fast, meaning often they will hit you before you have a chance to fight back. There are a number of ways to fight back against them, however.

• Ranged Weapons can deal with them before they reach you

• If one is approaching, begin to strafe backwards. Due to a technicality in Minecraft's code, they slow down when they get closer to you, so strafing backwards gives you time to hit them without them being able to attack you.

• Mobs in Minecraft attack from where their head is. This means that if you get below a shadow creeper, such as going down a slope, you will be able to hit them without them reaching you.

trivia

• Shadow Creepers are actually a result of Concrete Sheep being implemented. Due to their ability to turn cobble into gravel, this meant that the Mob Griefing rule had to be on, however there was issues with Creeper Explosions, so their explosion ability had to be removed. The Shadow creeper was then created because Creepers would begin to hit players, and the idea of a Jumpscare enemy was created.

• Shadow Creepers originally could spawn on the Surface. That was really annoying.
